The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

The Nets have been pretty interesting. They’re designed to tank this season. Their owner, Joe Tsai, even admitted in an interview before the season started that their focus is on landing as high a pick as possible in the 2026 draft. But just like with the Jazz, their tank hasn’t gone quite as well as they planned, and now a lot of folks are wondering if they’ll trade Michael Porter Jr before the trade deadline. I’d say that, while not certain, it’s a strong possibility, especially if they continue to win more games than they want.
 
One data point is definitely one data point, I'll give you that.
For the season he is at 21 points per game and 6.5 assists.
Not how normal numbers but much better than a player who is washed.

True but given his stature in the league and his abilities that's a huge drop-off. Did you watch the video? The Lakers are way better without him, as per advanced stats too. So washed wasn't the right word, it just looks like he's done seriously playing basketball.
